She kept bothering the judge by coming to him and asking for a decision in her favor. Ultimately, her persistence caught his attention and influenced his behavior. Jesus seems to be teaching us today that this quality of faithful persistence is a good one to have. Thus, he advises us to call out to God not once, not twice, but day and night. This is a fitting image for the idea of continual prayer; it goes on all the time without ceasing. Following the example of this determined widow, we need not fear to repeatedly make our requests known to God. In fact, we should make a point of it! When we truly commit to taking these requests before the Lord, day after day (and night after night!) then we are displaying a kind of profound faith in God s ability to act on our behalf. So, full of hope and trust, let s keep bothering this truly just Judge!.
